Each year the Washington Architectural Foundation and Society for Design Administration take over D.C.’s Shops at 2000 Penn to create Canstruction, when local architecture and design firms create structures made out of canned foods. By showcasing the cans and colors of the labels, they are able to create structures that will later be de-canstructed and donated to the Capital Area Food Bank. Visitors can vote for their favorite structure by bringing their own cans — next to each design there is a food bin, each food item donated equals one vote and one structure will go on to win the People’s Choice Award. You have until October 2nd to swing by 2000 Penn to cast your vote.
If you can’t make it, check out my photo gallery of this year’s entries.
